The legend of poppy

The poppy flower itself has no fragrance, so it does not have the quality of alluring people. It was human beings with impure hearts who extended their sinful hands to it and made it bear the infamy that should have belonged to others. The poppy was discovered and used in the Neolithic Age. More than 5,000 years ago, the Sumerians reverently called it the "happy plant" and believed it was a gift from the gods. The ancient Egyptians also used it as a panacea for night crying babies. Detailed descriptions of opium appeared in ancient Greek and Roman books as early as the third century BC. The great poet Homer called it "forget-me-not", Virgil called it "hypnotic", and some slave owners also planted some poppies, of course just to appreciate its beautiful flowers. Sadly, as history progressed, when people discovered that opium could make people lose themselves in fantasy while curing diseases, human selfishness and greed overcame reason and morality, and opium became a medium for people to make huge profits. The once happy thing was transformed into the source of all evil drugs and the devil's flower.

In ancient Egypt, poppy was called the "sacred flower". In order to express their praise for poppies, the ancient Greeks had the goddess of agriculture, Saturn, hold a poppy flower in her hand. There are also stories about poppies in ancient Greek mythology. There was a devil god who was in charge of death named Hypnos. His son Mavis held a poppy fruit in his hand and guarded his sleeping father to prevent him from being awakened.
